- wiki - FAQ - phpbb2 (specifically) - mailing list achieves - an actual updated website - software, software development, code, repositories - ++
I remember we pushed for a bulletin board and failed to utilize it 'coz of the hassle of setup and getting in.
However a wiki would allow users (anyone) to update and add content as required. This would further allow us to fulfill what I think is our main goal. Expose and encourage many more computer users to utilize and fully benefit from the advantages of Linux and open source in general. This would reduce on the redundancy of having to maintain the useful communicated content in all our in boxes, and having to forward and refer to old important content. Think of Newbies.
I know this may seem over whelming to the powers that be. However I feel that we need to do all this to be able to further weave a more cohesive lug and community.
Hope U all consider the extent of work involved in setup and extent to which these may help us all, before U shoot this one down. I didn't want to bore U with all the pros of the above, but I can even right a proposal on this.
FRANCIS.
PS: To the powers that be, If space and implementation are a problem, please contact me personally.

Hi All,
As this is one of the biggest and most obvious Ugandan problems with linux, would it be a good idea to post an FAQ about this subject on the website.
With an FAQ i then mean, one that is google-able and publically available to everyone without registering.
In the future we could just refer to that FAQ .

Subject: [LUG] MTN CDMA usb modem under linux
Am trying to get the MTN modem working under linux but having lots of
trouble
After extensive searching on the internet (including the previous threads
on this list), I have been able to get the cable loaded at ttyUSB0, by
upgrading the kernel and adding 'options usbserial vendor=0x451
product=0x3410' to /etc/modules.conf (ubuntu: /etc/modprobe.d/options).
Problem is, when I set wvdial, pppconfig and even minicom to use ttyUSB0 as
modem port, there seems to be no communication, nothing on the phone screen
while dialing.
I have tried this phone under windows, it works well (using MTN supplied
drivers)
Has anyone set this up under linux? Please post your experience.
Cheers, Joseph
